Um, Altavista was better than Google for a very long time.
And I STILL cry that I can't search and then get a graphical clustermap in order to drill down to what I want. (Yeah, when I search for Python I'm probably not looking for reptiles).

Altavista was completely useless compared to even the first version of Google. You had to prepend + to every search word and even then most of the results were spam or irrelevant.
